It was a bitter-cold winter across Oklahoma and now those single-digit days we were complaining about are turning into triple-digit days for some.

Looking back on our winter, which featured several rounds of snow and numbing temperatures, I found our coldest temperature recorded in January.

On Jan. 24, the temperature plunged to four degrees, 25 degrees below average. While it was frigid that day, it wasn't a record. That belonged to the year 1894 when it got down to a "cool" minus eight degrees.

The hottest temperature so far this year has been 97 degrees back on both May 4 and May 5.

The first 90-degree day this year in OKC was back on April 26. The earliest 90-degree day in OKC is Feb. 1, 1911.
